Winter Adventure in Xinjiang:Join a tour to unlock the dreamlike feast of blue ice and ice push
❄ ️ Detailed introduction to the route or destination
Winter in Xinjiang is a stunning picture carved by ice and snow. As the cold wind sweeps across the vast land, lakes and rivers gradually freeze, forming patches of crystal-clear blue ice worlds, and the ice push phenomenon is a unique wonder bestowed by nature. In the winter of 2026, follow in the footsteps of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency and venture deep into this snow-covered secret realm to experience the distinctive charm of winter Xinjiang.
This itinerary will focus on visiting two picturesque icy and snowy scenic spots, Sayram Lake and Kanas Lake. Sayram Lake, known as “the last tear of the Atlantic,” has its surface covered by thick blue ice in winter; under the sunlight, the ice surface shimmers with a deep blue glow, as if entering a dreamlike kingdom of ice and snow. Kanas Lake, meanwhile, is renowned far and wide for its spectacular ice push phenomenon. When the temperature drops sharply, the lake surface begins to freeze, and ice blocks continuously pile up and collide under the action of wind and water currents, forming spectacular walls of ice, as if artworks carefully arranged by nature.
In addition to the two major lakes, the itinerary will also include visits to Hemu Village and Baihaba Village. These two villages, inhabited by various ethnic groups, are covered in thick snow in winter, with curling cooking smoke, like a hidden paradise. Here, you can experience the traditional lifestyles of various ethnic groups, taste authentic ethnic cuisine, and feel the rich festive atmosphere.
